But what about those occasions when you need to input credit card details on a website or in a form? Not so easy. Fortunately, iOS 26 has the fix I\u2019ve always wanted thanks to new AutoFill support for credit cards.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with accessing saved credit cards<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/credit-card-autofill.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1015171\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>iOS 26 is packed with <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/08\/07\/heres-everything-new-for-apple-wallet-in-ios-26\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">big updates for Apple Wallet<\/a>, including a new feature that lets you <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/06\/18\/apples-wallet-app-has-key-new-feature-for-saved-credit-cards-in-ios-26\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">manually save full credit card details<\/a> for your Apple Pay cards.<\/p>\n<p>But Apple has long had a separate system, built into Safari, that saves full credit card info.<\/p>\n<p>That Safari feature uses AutoFill to suggest saved credit cards when you\u2019re inputting payment details on a website (as seen above).<\/p>\n<p>The problem is, those suggestions often aren\u2019t there when you need them.<\/p>\n<p>Occasionally I see AutoFill suggest a credit card that can be used, saving me the hassle of manually inputting card details.<\/p>\n<p>But far too often, that suggestion is missing. I suspect this has to do with sites not following Apple\u2019s expected standards for denoting a payment field.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I regularly encounter situations where I need credit card details for a website or online form, and I have to manually find and add them.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, iOS 26 has the perfect fix.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/autofill-credit-cards-ios-26.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1015173\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>In iOS 26, Apple has added a new option to the systemwide AutoFill menu.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what app you\u2019re using, regardless of whatever field type you\u2019re trying to fill out, you can find all of those saved Safari credit cards via the systemwide AutoFill menu.<\/p>\n<p>This is the menu that you\u2019ll see when you tap within a text field\u2014historically called the \u2018copy\/paste menu\u2019 or \u2018contextual menu.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>AutoFill has long been an option in that menu, and on many occasions I\u2019ve gone there hoping to find credit card info. But it previously only offered Contact, Passwords, and Scan Text options.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Credit Cards has been added as a fourth option, letting you benefit from that saved credit card info whenever and wherever you need it\u2014no manual input required.<\/p>\n<p>Are you excited to see the AutoFill menu now support credit cards in iOS 26?
